Yesterday when I was sorting ammo, I found about 20-30 rounds of this federal .223 with an unusual bullet. I'd like to know what it is, but I don't have a box.
The case is nickel
The bullet is a uniform dark gray
The headstamp is FC 223 REM
It may be a tactical or law enforcement specialty load.
I can't find anything that looks like this on federal ammunition's web site. I am sure this is factory ammo.
Anybody got a clue?

So what's with the dark gray bullet? It looks lighter in the picture, due to reflection, but in real life the bullets are all evenly the color of lead or darker, like a moly coated bullet or something.
